Dementia Awareness & Support Project

In a bid to remove the stigma attached to dementia, as reflected in the old fashioned Chinese translation 老人痴呆症, the Dementia Awareness and Support project adopted and publicised a new Chinese term 退智症 for describing the disease. The new term has now been adopted by the UK’s most influential Chinese newspaper, the Sing Tao Daily. A relevant article summarising the Project’s work, jointly written by a Steering Group member and the staff team, has been published in the Journal of Dementia Care (02 May 2015). View this article.

On the 6th November 2015, we hold a dementia focus group discussion at our centre:
